    Received my Koss Pro 4AA back from Koss.

    Your experience has got me thinking - I believe I have an old pair of KOSS in storage that my father purchased around 50 years ago . . .

    Technically speaking, the three are not all rudders. They are vertical stabilizers. The rudders can be seen on the outermost stabilizers.

    What's your latest audio purchase?

    I picked up a new (to me) DAC setup for my living room system(s) - an M2TECH "YOUNG" DAC and matching "PALMER POWER STATION". Photo from the web until I can get my rack re-arranged to incorporate said DAC. I've been exploring more Hi-Rez recordings on QOBUZ the last few days watching the display...

    Anti virus software for Windows 10 - any recommendations?

    I've been using "ESET Internet Security" for a number of years. I'm protecting mainly WINDOWS 10 machines in my my home and work environments. I like how it looks out for dangerous URLs and other suspicious activity. I had a licensed copy on my father's machine as well - until he passed away at...

    Newly acquired PILOT 230 integrated tube based amp

    Thanks for the comments. @Mr Boochie - Actually, the amp came with three AMPEREX ECL86 and one MOTOROLA installed. The "extra" tubes was a set of four SIEMENS tubes in boxes. I currently have the SIEMENS installed. @tuberadios69 - No, I haven't opened the case to inspect the internals. My...

    Newly acquired PILOT 230 integrated tube based amp

    So I finally ran across a local deal on a small vacuum tube amp that looked like an opportunity for getting into the "push-pull" game. It's a diminutive PILOT RADIO CORP. model 230 stereo integrated amp. I bought it from another Twin Cities AK member about a month ago. The seller had recommended...

    DAT Deck Repair

    Yes, @slimenta although my inquiry had nothing to do with DAT decks. Eddie used to have a webpage on modifying ALESIS MASTERLINK digital recorders with removable hard drives or SSD drives and I think I asked for his assistance in modifying my own deck. I was happy to pay him for his services at...

    DAT Deck Repair

    I've consulted with Eddie Ciletti before on a DIY audio project. I believe he works on DAT decks. You can reach him through his website. The home page is: https://www.tangible-technology.com/index.html Good luck.

    Not often seen pics of artists and celebs.

    Having lived near Minneapolis during the time these photos were taken I can tell you this was the wall of SCHMIDT MUSIC COMPANY in downtown Minneapolis near the Nicollet Mall. Also around that time my sister worked at a bridal shop nearby so I was familiar with that musical backdrop. At the...

    What's your latest audio purchase?

    My first real tube amp - a vintage PILOT 230 integrated amp that I bought from local Ak-er @MNmarantz . First picture is the amp safely protected in the passenger footwell of my car. Next, a beauty shot on a table at home and lastly a topless (nudie) shot. I still need to hook it up to some...

    Gnesen delivers sound deals.

    Over the weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to the home of AK member "Gnesen" to check out a pair of Klipsch KG 3.2 floor speakers for sale. A good friend was "klipsch-less" after selling a larger speaker pair due to space limitations in his living room. I introduced my friend to Clay and...

    Checking out

    I was saddened to read about your current health challenge. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but have watched close family members deal with declining health from various cancers in recent years. A friend's brother recently passed away from cancer and he was in his early 60's. Such a...

    New from Kansas

    Welcome, friend. I spent two years in Great Bend, KS as a young radio broadcaster a long, long time ago. And being from a small town near Minneapolis, Minnesota it did feel like I was in the middle of nowhere, so I can relate. Cheers.

    tell us your street racing story!

    EDIT: After further reflection I remembered a few more details, so I've edited my story. No embellishments - just a more accurate telling of the story. I have owned a few choice vehicles with "extra" horsepower over the years - including a 1992 M-B 500E (5.0L 322hp V8), a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger...

    Ever run out of gas?

    It was 1982 and I owned a little Toyota Corolla Liftback that got around 30mpg on the road. I was picking up some unused tickets for a modest concert my boss was putting on and tried to drive the whole route (through four states!) on a single tank. I got about 10 miles from home and the engine...
